Nadège David

In Nadège David's work, anatomy, flesh, and nature merge in a complex configuration, erasing the hierarchies established by language and the senses, and unveiling stories of interconnected beings. Drawing from the scientific perspectives of ethology and naturalism, David’s narratives play out in lush, luminous forests often populated with fantastical creatures and amorphous and hybrid life forms. The dynamic relationship between color and drawing underpins the ethos of her work. While maintaining a focus on the relationship between the individual, the body, and the world, David gradually shifts away from representing human forms in her new work, allowing for a powerful emergence of natural entities. Amid the vibrant dialogue of color and gestural figures, the environment becomes the main actor, creating its own inhabitants.
